Abstract: An electrical connector (10a, 10b) has a non-conductive planar base (12) defining a centrally located center aperture (26) extending therethrough. The base (12) has at least three generally identical sectors (28) circumferentially arranged around the center aperture (26). Each sector defines a plurality of contact-receiving apertures (14) extending through the base (12) in a first direction perpendicular to the base (12). The contact receiving apertures (14) in each sector (28) are organized into a plurality of rows (30). Each row (30) in each sector extends along the base in a second direction with regard to such center aperture (26). The base is formed from an injection mold that includes a gate structure (34) at the center aperture (26) of the to-be-molded base. A non-conductive molding material is injected into the injection mold through the gate structure (34), whereby the injected material is generally evenly distributed into each sector (28) of the base. The contacts (16a, 16b) are inserted into each contact-receiving aperture (14) by mounting the base (12) to a platform (40) rotatable on an axis such that the base (12) is perpendicular to the axis and such that the axis is coincident with the center aperture (26). The platform (40) and the base (12) mounted thereto are rotated to a first position wherein the field of view of a contact insertion device (42) positioned adjacent the platform coincides with a first one of the sectors (28) of the base, and the contact insertion device (42) inserts a contact (16a, 16b) into each contact-receiving aperture (14) of the first one of the sectors (28). Rotation and insertion are repeated for each additional sector. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for regulating the inner pressure of an anti-decubitus support for a sick-bed. Said support comprises at least one hollow chamber which is filled with a liquid, the inner pressure resulting therefrom in the at least one hollow chamber being regulated in accordance with the body size and the weight of a patient. The aim of the invention is to distribute the pressure produced by the body of the patient over the support as homogeneously as possible by optimising the regulation of the appropriate inner pressure of the support, in order to avoid peak pressures in problem areas and thus the formation of pressure sores. To this end, during a testing period for different test persons respectively, an optimum inner pressure of the support is determined specifically for the respective construction of the support; the values determined are defined in a table of values in correlation with the body-mass index of the patient; and the inner pressure of the support is regulated for the patient on the basis of the table of values.

Abstract: A method and package for controlled metered dispensing of a fluid product contained in the package having a metered dispensing system, each time the package is opened or uncapped are disclosed. By the present method and package, the maximum amount of product that can be dispensed is limited to a single metered dose after each uncapping of the package. Specifically, the metered dispensing system is configured to allow dispensing of only a single metered dose of a liquid, viscous liquid, gel, paste, or semi-solid product contained in the package and to prevent further dispensing of additional doses of product until at least one specific and deliberate step is taken that re-activates or re-engages the dispensing system. Such deliberate step is preferably one that occurs through natural use of the package, such as re-capping the open package after one single dose has been dispensed. Only after the open package has been re-capped can the next dose of product be available for dispensing. Thus, the system provides child resistance by preventing a child or other person who does not have the mental capacity to comprehend the threat of serious injury from contact with or improper use of the product, from gaining access to more than a single dose of the product each time the package is uncapped.
